Chapter 487

"Master, you are still very weak now. Let's leave here quickly!" Xiaobai said to Zongren.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Zong Ren said, looking at Xiaobai after hearing this.

"Then let's go!" Xiaobai said to Zongren.

After Zongren and Xiaobai left, they kept walking forward. After walking for about ten minutes, Zongren stopped in front of a valley.

"Master, the misty forest is ahead." Xiaobai looked at the forest in front of him and spoke to Zongren.

"Misty Forest, this name sounds pretty good. I'm in a good mood now. I want to go into the misty forest, gain some experience, and see if I have the ability to enter the misty forest." Hearing this, Zong Ren had a faint smile on his face, and while speaking, he was about to enter the misty forest.

"Zong Ren, Zong Ren, don't forget that we are here to look for elixirs. Now, you are actually thinking of venturing into the misty forest. What on earth are you doing?" After Zong Ren finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the side.

After hearing this voice, Zong Ren's figure immediately froze in place, not daring to move, because the owner of the voice was the young man named Ye Yun, whom Zong Ren hated the most.

After hearing what Ye Yun said, Zong Ren immediately turned his head with an unwilling look on his face and looked at the person who spoke. He saw that the man named Zong Ren standing in front of him was Zong Zheng from the sect who had just been knocked unconscious by his punch. At this moment, he was standing behind him.

"Why are you here? Why did you wake up?" Looking at Zong Zheng who was standing behind him with a faint smile on his face, Zong Ren immediately frowned and asked Zong Zheng with a puzzled look.

"Zong Ren, are you blaming me for knocking you out? I didn't want to do that, but Zong Zheng's cultivation was so profound that I had no choice but to knock you out." Looking at Zong Ren who had a depressed look on his face, Zong Zheng said to Zong Ren with a wronged look on his face.

After hearing what Zong Ren said, a helpless expression suddenly appeared on his face. He said to Zong Zheng, "You don't want this to happen. I know you don't want this to happen, but Zong Zheng is really powerful! You are no match for him, so you should go back now! Otherwise, you will be in trouble later." Zong Ren looked at Zong Zheng and persuaded him earnestly.

"Zong Ren, this time, it was my fault that I failed to protect you and caused you to get hurt." Upon hearing this, the expression on Zong Zheng's face suddenly became more aggrieved.

"Oh, hey! Don't be like this! We are all working towards our own goals this time, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Seeing Zong Zheng's aggrieved look, Zong Ren couldn't bear it either, so he quickly spoke up to comfort him.

"Hmph, this time, if it weren't for you, the disciples of our sect wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses." Zong Zheng snorted coldly and said after hearing this.

"This is none of my business. Don't blame me for this incident." After hearing what Zong Ren said, his expression darkened. He looked at Zong Zheng and said coldly.

"You..." Zong Xiao looked at Zong Ren, glaring at him angrily, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, stop arguing." Zong Ren and Zong Zheng were staring at each other, and at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came into their ears, and then a woman's voice was heard behind them.

"Miss.Miss"

When the two men heard the woman's words, they turned around at the same time and looked behind them. After seeing clearly who the person was, they both shouted "Miss" at the same time and rushed to the woman quickly.

"Miss, we are here to look for elixirs, not to cause trouble." Zong Xiao looked at the woman in front of him, lowered his head, and said to the woman respectfully.

"Brother Zong, Zong Ren, I wonder what brings you here?" After hearing what Zong Xiao said, the woman raised her head, looked at the two people, and asked with a cold face.

"Miss, here is a spiritual herb. It was prepared for us by a senior in our sect. It was our senior who asked the two of us to bring it to the sect and report it when the time comes." Seeing the woman, Zong Xiao hurriedly lowered his head and answered her respectfully.

"Spiritual herbs? What are spiritual herbs? Are they the main ingredients for refining elixirs?" After hearing Zong Xiao's words, the woman standing in front of Zong Ren frowned, looked at Zong Ren, and asked.

"Elixir? Is there an elixir here?" Upon hearing this, Zong Ren's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he asked in disbelief.

"Elixir? How could there be an elixir here? The spiritual herbs here have been cultivated by our sect's predecessors for tens of millions of years. These spiritual herbs are all the main materials for refining elixirs. How could there be an elixir here? Could it be that there is something in this world that can be used to refine elixirs? This is impossible. How could there be such a thing? This is impossible."

After hearing what the woman said, Zongren was immediately incredulous and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong? Zongren, what is the elixir that shocks you so much?" Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Zongren who was shocked, and a curious look appeared on her face. She asked Zongren.

"No, nothing, it's just that I didn't expect that there would be a magic pill in this remote mountain area. This is really too surprising for me." Zong Ren shook his head and said to the woman, then, as if he remembered something, he continued to speak to the woman with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Miss, I happen to have a pill here that can increase your cultivation. It was prepared for me personally by an old ancestor in our sect. Take it, it should help you break through the bottleneck and advance to the Nascent Soul stage." Zong Ren said as he took out a round pill that was shining with golden light from his Qiankun Ring and handed it to the woman. He then spoke to the woman with a flattering look on his face.

"Oh, that's great, thank you so much, Brother Zongren, I'm really so happy." After hearing Zongren's words, the woman immediately took the pill and said to Zongren with excitement.

"Miss, this is what I should do. I will go back and report now. Goodbye, Miss." Seeing this, Zong Ren immediately showed a bright smile on his face and spoke while looking at the woman.

"Well, okay, go back and take good care of those disciples." Upon hearing this, the woman showed an appreciative look on her face, and then whispered to Zong Ren.

"Don't worry! Miss, we're going back." Upon hearing that, Zong Ren bowed to the woman, then turned his head, looked at Ye Fan with a smile on his face, and said to Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, I'm going back first. I'm leaving first." Zong Ren bowed slightly to Ye Fan, turned around, and ran away.

Seeing this, Ye Fan curled his lips slightly, then turned around and walked back the way he came.

"Huh? Who is this?" Zong Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed as he watched Zong Ren leave.

"You didn't notice just now, that man seemed to be your senior brother Zongren! Why didn't you recognize him just now?" Zongxiao looked in the direction where Zongren disappeared, and then said to Zongxiao with a look of surprise.

"Well, I was concentrating on this spiritual herb just now and didn't notice it. However, if you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have realized that this spiritual herb had grown into that appearance. It looks like an ordinary grass. I thought it was a stone, but I didn't expect it to have a flower bud. It seems that we really came here by accident." Zong Xiao looked at the spiritual herb, nodded, and spoke.

"Haha, we are lucky. If we hadn't found it just now, our trip would have been in vain. This spiritual herb should be about three hundred years old. It is still relatively rare for us. If those immortal cultivators really knew that there is such a rare spiritual herb here, they would definitely scramble for it. No matter who they are, they will fight for this rare spiritual herb, don't you think?" Zong Xiao said to Zong Ren.

"Yes! I didn't expect that there would be such a rare spiritual herb here, and it is a spiritual herb with vitality. This is simply a pie in the sky!" Hearing this, Zong Ren showed a hint of surprise on his face and spoke to Zong Xiao.

"Haha, Senior Brother Zongren, let's hurry back to the sect and tell the elders about this matter. Then, let them decide how to deal with this matter!" Zong Xiao looked at the expression on Zongren's face, smiled, and spoke.

"Yes! Let's return to the sect quickly and report this matter to the sect master. Brother Zongren, what do you think?" Zong Xiao looked at Zongren and asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's return to the sect as soon as possible!" Zong Ren nodded after hearing this, then looked at Zong Xiao excitedly and said.

"Brother Zongren, wait a minute, I want to ask you a question." Just as Zongren and Zongxiao were walking quickly forward, the woman beside them suddenly called them.

"Miss, please speak." Upon hearing this, Zong Ren turned his head, looked at the woman, and asked respectfully.

"Who is that young man? Who are those people around him? Why are they here? Their cultivation doesn't seem to be very high." The woman looked at Ye Fan and the others with her beautiful eyes and asked Zong Ren.

As the woman spoke, a hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes as she looked at Zongren and asked.

"Miss, actually, I don't know who they are. Just now, I just took special care of them because they are friends of Mr. Ye. Miss, if you really want to know, I think you can go and ask Mr. Ye." After hearing this, Zong Ren thought for a while, then looked at Zong Yi with a smile on his face, bowed to Zong Yi, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Ye? The young man you were talking about just now, is he the same young man as before?" After Zong Ren finished speaking, the woman immediately widened her eyes and asked Zong Ren again with an uncertain look on her face.

"Miss, you are talking about the young man just now, the young master Ye. It was him just now. However, his cultivation seems to be very strong." When Zong Ren heard Zong Yi's words, he looked at Zong Xiao with surprise and said in surprise.

"Is it really him?" Zong Ren just finished speaking when Zong Xiao widened his eyes, exclaimed in disbelief, and asked Zong Ren again.

"Yeah." Zongren nodded and said with certainty.

"I knew it, I knew it, that's what I said! It seems that their cultivation is not high, but I can feel that they seem to have some treasures. However, they look very unfamiliar, as if they have never appeared in the sect. This makes me wonder if these people are independent cultivators who appeared out of nowhere, and they are the best among the independent cultivators. Perhaps, they are young masters trained by those big forces that are hidden very deeply." Zong Xiao nodded when he heard this, and the expression on his face became serious. He pondered for a moment, looked at Zong Ren, and said in a deep voice, with a solemn look on his face.

"Brother Zong Xiao, your guess is very reasonable. However, this makes the origins of these people even more confusing." Upon hearing this, Zong Ren looked at Zong Xiao and said solemnly.

"Yes! In this case, these people must be carrying some treasures. We must carefully investigate the identities of these people." Zong Xiao, upon hearing this, the expression on his face became more and more solemn. He looked at Zong Ren and spoke slowly, the expression on his face becoming more and more serious.

"That's right, we must not let them escape, otherwise, once we let these people leave here, I'm afraid that there will be a huge enemy in our sect. At that time, our sect will become very dangerous, and maybe some big trouble will befall us." Zong Ren nodded after hearing Zong Xiao's words, and said solemnly, then he began to analyze Zong Xiao, the expression on his face became unusually serious, and he began to analyze his analysis.

"Yes, I agree with Brother Zongren's analysis. These people seem to have a very strange aura. I suspect that they are cultivators." As Zongren finished speaking, the woman next to him immediately spoke in agreement.
